Hussain Ibn Mansoor Al-Hallaaj was a Sufi who deviated and claimed that he is a representative of Imam Al-Mahdi (AS). He claimed many dangerous claims including claiming that he is Allah or part of Allah (SWT). He was cursed by our Shia scholars as well as as Sunni scholars. Our great scholar Shaikh Al-Mufeed wrote a book against him and his cult called Tasheeh Al-E'tiqadaat Al-Imamiyyah. His claim (Ana Al-Haqq) shows his deviation and falsehood.

Even Sunni scholars refused his false claims and complained against him to the Abbasid king Al-Moqtadir who killed him in year 309 Hijri.

His cult was called Al-Hallajiyyah and they did not pray Salah nor perform any Islamic worship. This was mentioned by Shaikh Al-Sadouq in Al-E'tiqadaat (97).

Wassalam,

It's not haraam. Different things benefit different people and at different times of life. 

This claim is Not acceptable at all. Allah, The Most Exalted, The Most Merciful, The Most High will never be united with any one neither in this life nor in the hereafter. Allah says in Quran : There is nothing like Him. (Sura 42, verse 11.

Ameerul Mo'mineen Ali (AS) said: Allah is much higher than mixing or being similar to His creatures وتنزّهَ عن مُجانسة مخلوقاته.

Wassalam.

Being a Shia Muslim means to be a follower of the Prophet (SAWA) and his Holy Progeny Ahlul Bayt (AS). Following Ahlul Bayt in faith, shariah and spirituality will never let the follower in need to follow any one else. Sufi meditations were created to fill the Spiritual gap which was felt by Muslims who were kept away or born in areas away from the spiritual teachings of Ahlul Bayt (AS).

Real Shia Muslim has enough spiritual food in the life, teachings and supplications of Ahlul Bayt (AS).

Wassalam.
